It has long been known that divorced men in Switzerland do not always fare well financially. In particular, they pay more in taxes than before.

A man in the canton of Zurich was married, has three children and earns an average salary. Since he got divorced, he has been paying more tax. As he is liable for maintenance, he is taxed at the single rate. In some cases, he pays twice as much tax as before.
